This was my first workshop at MK gallery, working with yr1 pupils from a local school. The workshop was based on the current exhibition, Treasures in MK, which showed artworks from local collectors and collections based loosely on three themes; portrait, maritime and landscape. With these three in mind, I collected lots of different collage materials and the pupils made exciting colourful images of people, the seaside and the countryside. They loved playing with the different materials and, with no pens on the table to draw outlines, they really had to be imaginative and create using shapes and colours alone. It was fantastic to see them make artworks that they were so proud of and then look around the exhibition and be able to make links between their own work and the artworks on display in the gallery.
